Application of body size spectra to nematode trait-index analyses

Current trait-based indices of soil fauna for assessing soil quality rely on extensive knowledge of life history traits for hyper-diverse groups. We look at the effects of clear-cut forest harvesting and subsequent wood ash application on the free-living nematode community using trait-based indices and body size spectra. We test the hypothesis that body size is a unifying trait and that the body size spectra can be used to demonstrate changes in soil quality while overcoming taxonomic impediments. Undisturbed boreal forest floor soils were compared with clear-cut sites amended with zero, one-half calcium equivalent wood ash, equivalent calcium reintroduction, and twice calcium reintroduction. Total abundance, trait-based metrics for the Maturity Index, and two metrics of body size spectra were calculated. Nematode abundance was not a good indicator of soil disturbance, while traditional trait-based approaches (the summed Maturity Index) demonstrated predicted changes in community structure. Analysis of two types of body size spectra elucidated how the community had changed under disturbance, and revealed that smaller bodied organisms were lost under ash amended treatments compared to both clear-cut and undisturbed forest. Using the body size spectra for nematodes is a simple addition to current trait-based approaches that can supplement soil assessments for disturbance and quality without requiring taxonomic expertise.

Understorey vegetation as an indicator of water content in till soils in Finnish Lapland

Artificial regeneration of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) has been applied to a variety of forest site in Lapland. Occasional failures in regeneration have been observed on sites with high soil moisture contents and originally dominated by Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst). Understorey vegetation was studied on four naturally pine-dominated and eight spruce-dominated sites to determine suitable indicator plants for assessing soil moisture regimes. Soil moisture contents were estimated using the in situ dielectric measurements with radar surface arrival detection targeted to a depth of 0-50 cm. The abundance and frequence of plant species were analysed using logistic regression. The most reliable indicators were found to be Stereocaulon and Cladonia lichens for the dry regime (θv<25%), and Polytrichum commune Hedw. and Carex globularis L. for the wet regime (θv>25%). It was concluded that the indicator plants found in this study provide an alternative to the traditional Finnish forest site type approach in recognizing high soil moisture regimes.     

森林对降水的影响概述

森林能否增加降水,这是植树造林、美化环境等工作中必然要考虑的问题。文章总结了国内外相关文献,就森林对降水的影响做了阐述。综合现有研究结果来看,森林对降水有无影响目前还没有普遍性的结论;对于局地森林对降水的影响应持保守态度,既不能说"有",也不能说"无"。明确的结论必须结合当地地形、天气、气候条件做具体的研究分析后才能得出,这样的结论才更科学,更具指导意义。因此关于宁夏植树造林是否对宁夏的区域气候产生影响,以及有什么样的影响,目前还不清楚。另外一个主要问题就是森林的尺度,即多大面积的森林才会对区域降水产生影响,因为如果森林的面积很有限,对区域降水的影响是否也很有限等等,这些问题都需要进一步深入研究和探讨。     

浅析森林资源管理信息系统研究现状及发展

Environmental Change and the Sustainability of European Forests

Summary

It is some years now since forest decline was a major public concern in Europe and was one of the principal environmental issues around which international research programs were focused. A number of internationally coordinated activities were initiated in the 1980s and 1990s and have continued until now; these contributed significantly to our current understanding of forestry and to the way in which forestry policies have developed. In short, the concept of sustainable development has had an increasing influence and is now of immeasurable value in forest policy, with sustainable forest management well established as its guiding principle. This sequence of events is examined here. The extent to which understanding has advanced is remarkable; much has changed. Arguably this period gave the first indication of the extent to which forests and ecosystems globally are threatened by environmental change. On the basis of the last 20 years, it is tempting to conclude that we now have an effective institutional framework and have made excellent progress. However, some of the recorded ecosystem responses seem anomalous; there are surprises in system responses, e.g., the linkage between sulphur and nitrogen depositions and forest growth. Even more importantly some specific pollutant problems remain and will intensify, and climate change has become an environmental issue of overwhelming importance.     

论思维创新活动的自组织性

从知识社会学意义来看,思维创新活动的社会化过程存在着三个阶段。在潜思维创新阶段存在着社会思维系统内部由新质差别所引起的对常规思维平衡态的偏离即微观涨落。在趋显思维创新阶段,这种思维创新的微观涨落由于处在远离常规思维平衡态的非线性区域而不断得以放大与扩展,形成创新思维"巨涨落",从而推动着创新思维自身系统向新的有序化创新思维系统结构演进。在显思维创新阶段,各种思维创新主体及其思维知识信息相互融合和协同,在新的层次上形成了以新的思维范式为核心的社会创新思维有序化结构即社会创新思维耗散性结构。     

Three Turns of Contemporary Architecture and the Chinese Traditional Thoughts

Significant changes have taken place within the contemporary architecture since the 20th century: firstly the architecture turns from "thing" to "nothing",secondly the experience of architecture turns from logic to essence intuition,and thirdly the architecture turns from noun to verb,from which we find in surprise the sparks of the Chinese traditional thought which criticizes all the ready-made,especially the conceptual thought with its happening and generation,and shows a new non-subject-object-dimidiate,non-logical and fundamentally non-metaphysical perspective in theory.This made it possible for us to reconsider and reinterpret the contemporary architecture from a more original new perspective.
